Here's what happened.
Under Lu Changsheng's guidance, Mo Yu had some new ideas about mechanical puppets.
For example, mechanical puppets can be placed on cultivators to greatly enhance their strength.
Arm armor, helmet, leg bones.
Arm armor increases strength, helmets enhance defense, and leg bones increase speed.
At the same time, various mechanisms can be added to it.
When these words were spoken, the entire Mo Clan was alarmed.
Although it is difficult, it is feasible.
For a puppet to move on its own, it needs to be controlled by a central core and supplied with energy.
However, if it is installed on a cultivator, this step can be skipped, and the meridian lines can also be avoided.
However, no one had ever done this before, and the experimental materials required by Mo Yu were also quite enormous. Although the Mo Clan had most of the materials, they still needed to purchase some basic ones from outside.
Then Jiu Bailu suggested that she go instead.
Immediately, Hong Ying and the others understood Jiu Bailu's intentions and forcibly dragged Mu Fusheng had been locking himself in the courtyard to study talismans for the past few days, out of there.
In a state of utter speechlessness, Mu Fusheng asked him to accompany Jiu Bailu.
They ostensibly wanted him to protect the Jiu Bailu.
No, isn't that reason a bit far-fetched? Jiu Bailu is currently ranked twenty-first on the Cangxuan Ranking. With her strength, as long as those old monsters don't show themselves, who can harm her?
However, under Hong Ying's pressure, Mu Fusheng still had no choice but to submit.
Mu Wan'er then chimed in innocently, "I'll go too! We're short on materials for refining pills."
Upon hearing this, Mu Fusheng almost kowtowed to his Junior Sister Mu. As long as she wasn't alone with Jiu Bailu, it was a good thing!
However, Hong Ying quickly suppressed this idea, then called Shi Sheng over and said, "Let your senior brother Shi Sheng accompany you. Don't disturb your senior brother's appointment... um, to discuss something."
Mu Wan'er was stunned for a moment, then realized what she meant and said with a grin, "Oh right, we can't disturb Senior Brother Mu and Sister-in-law's date."
Jiu Bailu smiled gently.
Mu Fusheng was speechless.
Thus, we now see Mu Fusheng and Jiu Bailu walking down the street.
Looking at the list of materials in his hand, Mu Fusheng said, "Let's go, there's a shop up ahead, let's see if they have anything."
However, just as his gaze left the list of materials, he saw Jiu Bailu, shrouded in a light veil that concealed her stunning beauty, disappear from his sight. Looking to his left, he saw Jiu Bailu arrive at a small shop selling spatial rings.
Mu Fusheng's heart skipped a beat, but she pretended not to know anything and walked over, saying helplessly, "As the second princess of the dignified Nine Dragons Divine Dynasty, would you lack such things?"
Jiu Bailu glanced at Mu Fusheng, naturally knowing what he was thinking, and said with a smile, "Why are you panicking?"
She was laughing, her eyes crinkling into crescents, and there was a hint of mischievousness unique to young girls in her eyes.
The ethereal beauty of Jiu Bailu revealed such an expression, and even though a light veil partially concealed her face, it still caused the shopkeepers to gasp and stare in disbelief!
Mu Fusheng said anxiously, "Fear? Why would I panic? Hahaha, you seem to be joking. How could I possibly panic?"
Jiu Bailu didn't expose Mu Fusheng, and said with a smile, "I'm buying a spatial ring to store those materials later. I wonder what you're thinking."
Mu Fusheng: "... How come I never noticed you had such a wicked sense of humor before?"
Jiu Bailu: "Isn't this exactly what you men fall for?"
"..."
That's true.
Mu Fusheng really couldn't refute it.
"Do you agree? If you agree, then pick one." Jiu Bailu smiled as she looked at Mu Fusheng, her eyes filled with Mu Fusheng's image.
Mu Fusheng gritted his teeth and randomly picked a space ring that looked ordinary but had decent capacity and level, then hurriedly went to pay for it.
Jiu Bailu took it and put it on, saying, "Keep it with me for now."
After putting it on and playing with it for a while, he curled his lip and said, "What terrible taste."
Mu Fusheng was exasperated and held out his hand, "Then give it to me, I'll take it."
Jiu Bailu turned and walked out of the shop, saying, "But this color matches my outfit perfectly today."
Mu Fusheng watched Jiu Bailu's retreating figure. Her white dress, devoid of any embellishment, flowed gracefully, seemingly utterly incongruous with that rusty ring...
After leaving the shop.
Mu Fusheng walked towards a relatively large shop on the map that specialized in selling materials.
Jiu Bailu glanced at it, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Let's go to the other one; they should have the materials you want there."
"Hmm? This one's pretty close." Mu Fusheng said, puzzled. "The one you mentioned is a bit far."
But Jiu Bailu seemed not to hear, and walked in that direction.
Seeing this, Mu Fusheng could only shake his head helplessly and follow.
Women...
Jiu Xuan Shop.
Mu Fusheng raised an eyebrow as he looked at the shop sign, and followed Jiu Bailu inside without making a sound.
After entering.
An old man stepped forward, about to introduce the woman with a smile, but when he saw Jiu Bailu beside Mu Fusheng, he was slightly surprised. He opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by a look from Jiu Bailu.
The old man wiped the sweat from his brow and forced a smile, "This... what would this young master like to buy?"
Mu Fusheng handed over the list, thought for a moment, and said, "Give me six copies of everything on the list."
The old man took it and glanced at it, then said with slight surprise, "The materials on this are not cheap, and some of them need to be sourced from other shops. Are you sure you want to buy so much, young master?"
Mu Fusheng nodded. "Don't worry about the Primordial Stone, just bring the materials over."
Upon hearing this, the old man nodded. "In that case, young master, please wait here for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn..." Then, noticing Jiu Bailu raising an eyebrow, he assumed it was too long and quickly changed his mind, saying, "Half an incense stick will suffice!"
After saying that, he hurriedly went to prepare the materials.
But what they didn't see was that Jiu Bailu's expression had become even more unpleasant.
I meant for you to take your time, not for you to get ready faster...
Oh well, never mind.
"Isn't one set of materials enough? Why are there so many?" Jiu Bailu looked at Mu Fusheng, puzzled.
Mu Fusheng replied, "What if it fails a few times? That would mean going out a few more times, which would be too much trouble."
That's just Mu Fusheng's personality; he likes to have a backup plan.
Jiu Bailu laughed and said, "Are you that afraid to come out with me?"
Mu Fusheng paused for a moment, then chose not to answer.
Half an incense stick later.
The old man took the materials and said with a smile, "A total of 200,000 Flawless Primordial Stone are all stored in this ring."
Jiu Bailu took the spatial ring, confirmed its contents, and nodded.
The two then left.
On the way out.
Mu Fusheng suddenly said, "Why don't you shops of the Nine Dragons Divine Dynasty offer a discount?"
Jiu Bailu wasn't surprised and laughed, "Beneficial?"
Mu Fusheng remained silent.
Jiu Bailu skipped and hopped forward with her hands behind her back, and one sentence almost made Mu Fusheng faint.
"Consider it a betrothal gift."
